Here are some pointers about how to add that decorative touch and improve the appearance of your foyer with candle holders and wall mirrors.

There are different aspects that one must look at before buying candle holders.

Function
Candle holders help to support the candle, and prevent the wax from spilling on the surfaces of furniture. Placed on console tables, these holders can serve to create a warm glow and a welcoming ambience in the hallway. Place a scented candle on a candle stand for a gentle aroma to uplift the mood of your guests.

Shapes
Candle holders are sold in a variety of shapes. Sconces, votives, floating, tea lights, pillars, spheres and jar candles are some of the types of holders available. Whether you want to go for a tiered look or opt for a simpler design, candle stands can create versatile looks with the right placement. You could place a series of holders in various shapes with colorful candles for a spectacular look.

Maintenance
Different candle holders have different maintenance techniques. Glass candle holders need to be placed in a solution of hot water and dish soap to get rid of the wax buildup. You can also freeze the candle holder to scrape the wax off after it becomes crumbly.

Wall mirrors are another great home accessory. Wall mirrors highlight strategic places and create an illusion of a larger space. You can place a mirror in the hallway and create a welcoming ambience for visitors. A long, narrow wall mirror placed above a console table looks great. Candles of different sizes and a flower vase that reflect on the mirror create a wonderful effect.

Contemporary wall mirrors offer fantastic designs with a beautiful finish and are often available with console tables as a set. Sunburst mirrors in gold leaf can add vintage drama to a room while a grouping of organic shaped mirrors can add a contemporary touch.
